Ah well, thanks Sheila
to which I can only say what a pleasure & a privilege it was to have
Sheila here for four days & to read with her & discuss our work.
I got sidetracked for the rest of today this morning, so didnt get to
send the note on all the activities & my pleasure in being able to read
form Continuations in tandem. We were very serious about letting people
know that we felt it was a third voice, & a lot of people who heard us,
as well reading a few of our own poems, agreed, which was really neat.
What fun the whole week was.

When you combine two unique voices
it creates a third, phantom voice.
